Graffitti walking tour of Newtown and Enmore
Last weekend I had the great pleasure of being asked to accompany a graffitti walking tour of Newtown to talk about a particular mural that I painted that has subsequently become a bit of a local icon. I have done all sorts of interesting … well interesting to me anyway… things as an artist over the years but the time I spent working and making art on the streets of Sydney would have …
The Luckiest Boy in the World
Earlier today there was a bit of an incident down on my local beach. A small boy got into the family car which was parked on a reasonably steep street across the road from the beach and managed to release the handbrake and knock this brand new Lexus wagon out of gear. The car rather predictably then took off down the street and rolled right out into the busy main road, over the gutter and down an…
The Winter Cycle: or how to paint Sydney Park with fire and lime
The Winter Cycle: A hill painting project in two parts:

Short Story Collaboration with Lawford
A week or so ago I posted a random picture taken in Buenos Aires as I was being driven around the city in a taxi. The image itself doesn’t really fit into anything else I’m working on but it’s still a vibrant and ambigous image that’s full of life and mystery. I said at the time that it would make a great start for a short story and left it at that. Well a couple of days a…
At least 250 megapixels worth of negative.
A couple of days ago I made a bold statement in regard to the negatives of some of my images. I’ve posted some photo’s taken with a handmade camera that uses over sized 120 film. There is a small detail in the sky that is actually a helicopter towing a huge flag. Because the negative is so large and so fine, I have boldly stated that it is the equivelent of around 250 to 300 megapixel…
